Alchemy Restaurant and Bar

Cuisine and scene: A new identity for the restaurant inside Ashland's Winchester Inn is most evident in the extensive cocktail menu featuring "elixirs" and "tinctures" of such spirits as brandy, gin, whiskey, even absinthe from its full bar. Food is less fanciful, with mainstays such as miniature beef Wellingtons, stuffed quail and butter-poached lobster tail. The inn's longtime genteel ambiance remains intact, despite an edginess suggested on Alchemy's website.

Beverages: Wine-flight option from a dozen labels available by the glass; encyclopedic list organized by varietal and origin, including sparkling, rare or limited-stock bottles and half-bottles; local, other domestic and imported, bottled beers.
